it "says" that you lack the ability to lean the bike all the way over on the tires, which normally takes a speed of over 100 mph with most of the corners around here. I think it's kinda funny, people saying someone has chicken strips... maybe most of thier riding is commuting and not trying to scrape their knee on every turn :/:

i have no problem leaning my bike to the edge of the tires but i see no need to do so at 120mph to prove anything. I prefer the laid back and relazed cruising to enjoy the scenery

the corners i take are just really sharp and i go at it about 35-50mph. all the little corners i take are low speed. but i don't get low enough to drag knee or anything

MAn, I miss highspeed freeway wheelies passing cars doing 120. But as much as I miss them I don't miss sitting in the back seat of the not legroom cop cars. I just sneak a wheelie in at MSR Houston when Buck ain't looking now to get my fix.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength-

the only ones i ever see people trying to drag knee around are the long sweepers which would require a speed of 100 ish at least to drag knee

Yup, i see this all the time too. I get up pretty quick in the corners but not trying to push it to drag knee. Not worth it IMO. I have tiny little chicken strips on the very edge of my tires but like sb said, not many good turns around here without having to get 100+ to get down on it.

so im on my way home from work. when this guy decides to get right next me in the same lane! he looks at me and i look back and just give him a simple friendly wave. Next thing you know he pops a wheelie and looks back waiting for me to pop one up. this is like the 2nd time this has happen this week. they had everything minus a jacket.

is that the next thing now instead of a simple wave? is to do have a wheelie contest in the middle of traffic!? then speed off into triple digits going in between cars when you win a "wheelie contest"?

fking grow up people!

*rant*

not very nice to be talk like that about me jk of course it wasn't me, however I have seen that before!!
